On the evening of August 24, when Jang Sung-won finished filming the scene and drove Yoon Eun-hye home, he received a call. He looked at the caller ID and found that it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number. At this time, he was happily chatting with Yoon Eun-hye. While chatting, I didn't bother to answer this unknown call, so I simply refused. But after a while, when he was about to kiss Yin Eunhui, his cell phone rang again. When he saw it was the unfamiliar number again, he was a little annoyed and was about to turn off the phone directly. Yin Eunhui advised: "Brother Chengyuan, you should answer the phone first. Well, it might be a very important call!" Zhang Chengyuan said: "I can tell it's not someone I know. However, since you asked me to answer it, I will answer it and see who is calling! "Looking at the phone, he asked: "Who is that?" Only a middle-aged man's voice said: "Is it Mr. Jang Sung-won? I am Lee Jung-seop. I want to talk to you about "Hong Gil Dong" in person. What are you doing now? Do you have time? " "Lee Jung-seop, the director of "Hong Gil Dong" mentioned by the Hong sisters? What is this guy asking me to do now? Did they agree to what I proposed? Are there some harsh requirements? Or do you want to discuss it with me again?" Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but think. Nearly two weeks have passed since the last time the Hong sisters came to invite Zhang Chengyuan to star in "Knife Hong Gil Dong". Zhang Chengyuan has not waited for the reply from the Hong sisters. He thought that the matter was already dirty. Unexpectedly, he would be attacked today. Invitation from the play's director Lee Jung-seop. Because it was so unexpected, Zhang Chengyuan was stunned for a while. I heard Lee Jung-seop say again: "Mr. Jang Seung-won, I sincerely invite you to meet me this time. Please don't refuse, I hope you can take the time to meet me!" Jang Seung-yuan came back to his senses and replied: "Director Lee Jung-seop, I am very happy to receive the invitation. Your invitation, please tell me where you are, I will drive there right away." "Samseongdong" Li Zhengxie told Zhang Chengyuan the address. Afterwards, Zhang Chengyuan hung up the phone! Yoon Eun-hye said: "Put me down, business is important. I'll take a taxi back by myself!" As soon as she heard Lee Jung-seop's name, she remembered what Jang Sung-won had mentioned to her about the crew of "Hong Gil Dong" inviting him to film, and she Decided to leave voluntarily so as not to delay Zhang Chengyuan's important matters! Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "It's just an invitation for a TV series, just an invitation from a director. Compared with sending you home, how can it be anything more important? I'll send you home first and then go to the appointment!" Yin Eunhui shook her head and said: "Brother Chengyuan. Sometimes you are so arrogant that you don't even look down on the director. In Korea, the director's status is much higher than that of our actors!" Zhang Chengyuan said disdainfully: "Then it depends on what kind of director it is. What kind of actors are they? If they are famous directors like Park Chan-wook, Kang Je-kyu, and Kwak Jae-yong, I would give them a bit of a thumbs-down, but an unknown director can't hold me back! I can cooperate with him. If he thinks he has a high status and points fingers at me, I will turn away and leave. "This is what Zhang Chengyuan says in his heart, but he will only say this in front of his sisters. But he would never say it in front of outsiders. Yoon Eun-hye teased: "You can just talk, but I really want you to stand in front of Lee Jung-seop. Do you dare to say such a thing?" Zhang Chengyuan said: "Although I won't say that, but I will do it! From now on! Judging from what the two screenwriters Hong Jing-eun and Hong Mi-ran said, it seems that Lee Jung-seop doesn't think much of me. He actually contacted Ju Ji-hoon first before inviting me. I'm afraid he only started to consider it after the negotiation with Ju Ji-hoon collapsed. I may even have contacted other actors, but I felt that I couldn¡¯t find a suitable candidate, so I came back to negotiate with me. Do you think this attitude is really sincere?¡± Yoon Eun-hye said: ¡°It¡¯s not necessarily what you want. Maybe he thinks he has limited funds and can¡¯t afford a high-paying actor like you! Maybe he thinks you have no experience in shooting costume dramas, so it¡¯s no different than hiring Zhu Zhixun?¡± Zhang Chengyuan said: "I hope so! However, Eun-hye, when I hear what you said, I feel that you are confusing me with Ju Ji-hoon. Can Ju Ji-hoon compare to me?" I remembered that Ju Ji-hoon had acted with Yoon Eun-hye in the drama "Palace". He feels unhappy when they are in a relationship. Yin Eun-hye noticed that Zhang Chengyuan seemed a little jealous, and said hurriedly: "Of course he can't compare with you, but you and he really have no experience in acting in historical dramas!" After driving Yin Eun-hye home, Zhang Chengyuan turned around and drove to Jiangnan/District In Samseongdong, he found a coffee shop that Lee Jung-seop mentioned, parked his car nearby, and then walked into the coffee shop. A waiter immediately welcomed him in and took him to a quiet booth, where he was sitting It was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. Seeing Zhang ?After a month, the middle-aged man stood up, came forward and said, "Mr. Zhang Chengyuan, I am Li Zhengxie!" He extended his right hand to Zhang Chengyuan. Zhang Chengyuan calmly stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and then let go. The etiquette he used was the internationally accepted handshake ceremony, rather than the Korean etiquette of shaking hands when juniors meet their seniors. It seemed a bit casual and equal. Lee Jung-seop's eyes flashed, but there was still a faint smile on his face. He seemed not to care about Zhang Chengyuan's actions at all, and said: "Please sit down!" and waved his hand for Zhang Chengyuan to sit down. Zhang Chengyuan nodded to express his gratitude, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he waited for Lee Jung-seop to sit down before sitting down. The two sat down at almost the same time. After exchanging a few polite words, we got down to business. Li Zhengxie said: "Even if I don't tell you the purpose of inviting you here this time, you can probably guess it?" Zhang Chengyuan nodded lightly, with a gentle smile on his face. Lee Jung-seop continued: "In principle, our crew agrees to cooperate with Mr. Jang Sung-won, but some of the conditions are subject to discussion!" "What conditions?" Lee Jung-seop said: "I won't talk about this for now, let me tell you some news first!" "Please tell me! "This morning, our crew has just reached a cooperation agreement with Ms. Sung Yuri. Ms. Sung Yuri will play the heroine Heo Rilu in "Hong Gil Dong"." Zhang Chengyuan showed a slight joy on his face and bowed slightly. He thanked: "This is really good news. I would like to thank the crew of "Hong Gil Dong" and Director Li in advance!" In Zhang Chengyuan's view, it doesn't matter whether he can play the role of Hong Gil Dong, because he can find someone else even if he doesn't play this role. There are other better roles, but this role of Xu Lilu was extremely helpful to Sung Yuri's acting transformation, so he really thanked him sincerely. Lee Jung-seop waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me. I didn't invite Miss Sung Yuri to play this role for your sake. But after careful observation and interview, I found that she is indeed suitable for this role, so I signed the contract with her. Okay. That said, if she is not suitable for this role, no matter who comes to her, I will not agree." Zhang Chengyuan said calmly: "Although Ms. Cheng Yuli is my girlfriend, I will not play this role if she can't. I recommended her. In the past few years, in addition to Ms. Sung Yuri, I have also recommended two actresses to star opposite me, Li Zhen and Yoon Eun Hye. If you know a little bit, you should be able to know that Miss Li Zhen is in "Taereung". "Contestant Village" and Ms. Yoon Eun-hye's performance in "Coffee Prince Shop No. 1"? Then maybe you won't regard me as the kind of person who pretends to be a self-interested person. " Lee Jung-seop nodded and didn't answer. The expression on his face was quite indifferent. Zhang Chengyuan continued: "By the way, Director Lee Jung-seop, you seem to be a little dissatisfied with me?" Although Lee Jung-seop's attitude towards him has been quite friendly since they met, Zhang Cheng-yuan vaguely felt that Lee Jung-seop seemed a little unhappy with him. Li Zhengxie was stunned. He was very surprised by Zhang Chengyuan's direct words, but he was also a straightforward person. He replied: "Yes, there is indeed some dissatisfaction. I think every director will be a little dissatisfied if he meets an actor who makes conditions like you!" Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "It should be more than that!" Lee Jung-seop smiled slightly: "Yours You have good eyesight, but I didn¡¯t like you very much before I heard the conditions you proposed!¡± Zhang Chengyuan said: ¡°Can you tell me the reason?¡± Li Zhengxie said: ¡°You should know the reason, your current reputation is not good. How good. Many media reports say that you are arrogant, indifferent to your colleagues, love to show off, and have a non-serious attitude towards filming If you were a director, would you like to work with such an actor despite your popularity and acting skills? Excellent, but if your temper is really as rumored, I don¡¯t dare to cooperate with you. Please note that I am just an unknown little director. If a big-name actor like you acts like a big-name actor, I can¡¯t suppress him!¡± During the filming of "Coffee Prince", he went abroad to film "King of Kung Fu". Zhang Chengyuan asked for leave many times and did not even attend the production press conference of "Coffee Prince", which led some media to make random speculations. Criticize him and make irresponsible remarks. Zhang Chengyuan said: "In that case, why did you ask me to cooperate again today?" Li Zhengxie said calmly: "Because I really can't find a more suitable candidate than you at the moment. Moreover, I have recently asked some people who have cooperated with you The director, screenwriter and staff asked about you and found out that your attitude and way of doing things during filming were not as bad as the rumors said, so I changed my mind. " Zhang Chengyuan said with a sigh.I see! However, there is one thing I'm curious about. Why did you easily believe the negative reports about me in the media before? I don¡¯t think you are the kind of person who easily believes in rumors! " Li Zhengxie said: "Because I have been prejudiced against you a long time ago! " "How to say? " "About two years ago at a gathering of entertainers, I met you once and wanted to say hello to you, but you ignored me and walked past me. At that time, I thought you were If a person is too arrogant, he will have a bad impression of you! Because of this impression, I subconsciously believed them to be true after hearing those rumors! " Zhang Chengyuan knew that with his usual indifferent attitude towards strangers, he would definitely do what Lee Jung-seop said. Although he didn't feel the need to feel guilty, he still apologized politely. " Lee Jung-seop shook his head and said: "This I can't say it's your fault. Maybe you didn't notice me because you had something on your mind at the time. It's probably because I'm too narrow-minded that I keep remembering such trivial things! " "I think Director Li is broad-minded and honest. "After this conversation, Zhang Chengyuan couldn't help but feel a little fond of Lee Jung-seop, and he sincerely praised him.
